Nally, John Rufus d. 16 May 1856 R77/130 The Evening Star, May 16, 1856 The Navy Yard Homicide Early yesterday afternoon the eastern section of the city was thrown into great excitement by the announcement that John R. Nally, a young many of 20 or 21 years, had been shot dead by a fellow workman at the Navy Yard, named Daniel W. Jarboe, aged about 22.

Coroner Woodward held an inquest, the verdict of which was rendered about six o’clock in the evening. From the evidence before the jury it appears that about a quarter before one o’clock p.m., young Jarboe and his sister Sarah Jane, called at the house of an acquaintance (Mrs. Irwin) on Ninth street south, where they remained a short time, and when they left the house they met the deceased, who resided with his mother in the vicinity, and who was on his way to work in company with his brother William. Jarboe accused deceased with having seduced his sister, and asked if he intended to marry her. Nally’s reply is stated to have been negative or evasive, whereupon Jarboe advanced and fired one barrel of a revolver at Nally, the ball entering the left breast. Nally ran a short distance, the blood flowing from his mouth, when his brother caught him in his arms. Nally died in about ten minutes after receiving the wound. After firing at Nally, Jarboe said to his sister, “Stand back till I shoot the other d---d son of a bitch,” meaning Nally’s brother. He did not fire again, however, and the pistol, which was a five-barrelled revolver, was found upon examination to have loads in the four barrels. Jarboe walked away, and meeting Officer Willard delivered himself up. He was taken before Justice Briggs, who committed him to the county jail for a further hearing. On hearing that Nally had died of the shot, he appeared much affected.

Nally was a member of the Anacostia Fire Company, and the different fire companies of the city have been invited to attend the funeral which takes place this afternoon.

This morning Justice Briggs was with the District Attorney to consult about a further hearing.

The Evening Star, May 17, 1856 Burial of Nally. Yesterday the remains of John R. Nally, who was killed by D.W. Jarboe in the recent affair at the Navy Yard, were consigned to the grave. The funeral procession was very long. The Anacostia Fire Company, of which the deceased was a member, and the American Hook and Ladder Company were out, accompanied by a fine band of music.

The Evening Star, May 21, 1856 The Navy Yard Homicide The deferred examination of Daniel W. Jarboe, for killing John R. Nally, took place at the guard room of the jail yesterday afternoon before Justice Briggs, commencing about five o'clock. The prisoner was brought in. He is of middle age, of youthful appearance with blue eyes; he looked pale and somewhat worn by confinement, but otherwise calm and collected.

Susana Irwin sworn--Resides on Ninth st., Navy Yard.

Then prisoner called the brother of deceased a d--d son of a bitch, and said if he did not get out of the way he (prisoner) would put a load in him. This is all witness knows of the affair. Deceased, after he was shot, ran around the corner, about the length of the guard room, and his brother after him; prisoner and his sister went off in another direction, around the opposite corner by the engine house; the sister was about a yard from prisoner when the pistol was fired; witness did not hear the sister of prisoner say anything; could not swear to the pistol.

in the left side; saw deceased turn around and run; heard the prisoner say to the lady with him "Stand back;" prisoner then said to the other Nally, "Now," with an oath, calling him a son of a bitch, "I have a great mind to put a load in you;" saw this Mr. Nally run; heard no words pass between deceased and the prisoner and his sister; Irwin's door is about as far from the place of the shot as from witness to the door of the guard room; the lady was about four feet from the prisoner when he fired the pistol.

John A. Willett sworn--Was standing on Seventh street east talking to Mr. Burdine; heard a noise as of a good many walking, and turned around; saw a large crowd of persons coming up the street on the pavement, and, to the best of witness's recollection, Thomas Mansfield called to witness to "arrest that man;" witness went then to meet the crowd and asked them what man, and they pointed to the prisoner, whom he did not know then but afterwards ascertained was Mr. Jarboe; thinks prisoner is the man; witness caught hold of him by the arm; prisoner said he would go, and they went up to Squire Brigg's office on Seventh street, and after he had got in and taken his seat the Squire began to inquire about some witness; Jarboe then asked to let his sister come in, and said that he had done it; nothing more occurred of consequence until they went down the street to get a conveyance to come to the jail in; the prisoner, to the best of witness's recollection, said he wanted to get off as soon as possible; they were standing on the corner of Eighth and K streets, some person made mention that "he was shot" or "was dead," witness was not certain which; Jarboe said "I done it, and I am satisfied;" does not think anything was said between there and up by Mr. Marceron's until up by Capt. Sutherland's corner, when, as they were riding in the wagon, the prisoner turned to him and asked if deceased was dead; told him I did not know, had heard so, but he might not be; prisoner said "Poor fellow, I am sorry for him;" he seemed to take on right smartly about it; when prisoner came into the magistrate's office somebody said he had a pistol about him; witness turned and told him he would have to give it up; heard Mr. Briggs tell him previous to this that he must give up the pistol; the prisoner gave the pistol to witness; witness gave the pistol to Mr. Briggs.

(A pistol was here shown to witness, which he thought was the same. Mr. Briggs, the magistrate, identified the pistol as the same.)

He was thrown so near the track that the front wheel of the car struck him on the body between the shoulder and the hip. His clothing becoming entangled in the wheel, he was dragged a short distance before the car was stopped. The injured and insensible boy was taken into a neighboring house and the police ambulance summoned. He was taken to Providence Hospital, and the doctors there said that his pelvis was fractured and that he had probably suffered internal injures. He lived at 2226 Boundary street.

Woman Dies; Man, Also Shot, Held William Poland Accused by Police of Being Slayer of Mrs. Lola Naylor Tragedy Follows Boat Trip Down The River Painter Denies Firing Pistol in Room With Fellow-Boarder, Husband Also Arrested Mrs. Lola Naylor twenty-five years old, who had been separated from her husband, John Naylor, since Christmas, died at Casualty Hospital this morning at 2:30 o’clock as a result of two bullet wounds in her chest. She was shot about 1 o’clock this morning while in the room of William Poland, a boarder at 1525 23d street, Randle Highlands.

William Poland, who is a painter, about thirty-eight years old, is a patient at Casualty Hospital suffering from one bullet wound in his left chest, and the police have preferred a charge of murder against him. It was stated at the hospital today that Poland is seriously wounded, although he may recover.

John Naylor, husband of the dead woman, was taken into custody by the police this morning and held for investigation. Several persons told the police that Naylor had threatened the couple, but Naylor denies this. He said that if his wife did not want to live with him she was at liberty to go where she pleased.

The tragedy followed a trip to Marshall Hall last night on an excursion given by an organization composed of employes of a local business house where Mrs. Naylor was employed. Poland and Mrs. Naylor were apparently in the best of humor when they returned home about midnight and were seen on a Randle Highlands car by Motorman Hutchinson.

Were Chatting and Laughing "They were chatting and laughing," said the motorman, "and I heard Mrs. Naylor say she would ‘bet a dollar.’ The man said he would ‘bet ten,’ but I did not hear what they were talking about."

Mrs. W.L. Wilkins in whose home the couple boarded and occupied separate rooms, heard one of her boarders moving about the house about midnight, a few minutes after the couple reached the house, and nothing more was heard until she was awakened to the reports of the pistol shots.

Following the sounds of the shots, Mrs. Wilkins states, Mrs. Naylor called. "May, he’s shot me." Mrs. Wilkins ran to Poland’s room, a large front room on the second floor and saw the wounded pair lying side by side. The smoking revolver was on the bed near Poland’s hand.

Mrs. Naylor was unconscious and unable to speak, Mrs. Wilkins said, and Poland refused to speak. Mr. Wilkins carried Mrs. Naylor to a small hallroom, the room she occupied and placed her on her bed. He then ran from the house to find a policeman, his wife following him.

Policeman Heard Shots Policeman J.R. Harrover of the eleventh precinct heard the reports of two of the four shots that were fired and was on his way to the house when he met Wilkins. Hurrying to the house the policeman and Mrs. Wilkins saw the wounded couple, and the policeman summoned an ambulance and patrol wagon.

"I spoke to Mrs. Naylor and pushed back an eyelid" said the policeman, "but she was too far gone to be able to speak or give any sign of recognition."

"I’ve finished both of us," is what Mrs. Wilkins says Poland told her, and he added, "I’ve finished the pair of us, and am not going to live long, bring me some ice."

Mrs. Wilkins chided Poland, but when he said he was not going to live long she procured ice for him and remained there until the arrival of the ambulance.

At the hospital, it is stated, the wounded man blamed first one person and then another for the shooting. He was questioned by Detectives Vermillion and Armstrong soon after he reached the hospital and to them he denied that he had done the shooting.

Lieut. Plemmons Investigates Lieut. Plemmons of the 11th precinct was the first officer to reach the house in response to the call sent in by Policeman Harrover, and he took a hand in the investigation. Mrs. Wilkins and her husband talked freely of the tragedy and told what they knew of the boarders.

Mrs. Naylor, the police were told, was a daughter of Thomas Mitchell, 713 P street southwest.

"And," stated Mrs. Wilkins "she has been with me off and on since she was ten years old. She called me ‘mother’ and called my husband ‘daddy.’ Mr. Poland always seemed to be a very gentlemanly man, although

Interments in the Historic Congressional Cemetery Last Updated: 2/13/2015 Name Birth/Death Age Range/Site

my husband had known him only about three months. He had boarded with us only since the latter part of last month."

John Naylor, husband of the dead woman, is a bartender and resides at 1311 C street southwest. It was not until after 7 o’clock this morning that the husband learned of the shooting and hurried to the hospital. He had previously told the police that he suspected something wrong and asked them to watch her movements about the Randle Highlands house.

Planned Trip Down River Mrs. Wilkins said Mrs. Naylor told her she was going to Marshall Hall last night, and dressed for the excursion yesterday morning before she went to work. Poland came home about 4 o’clock in the afternoon, she stated, said he was in a hurry, that he had to go to a Mr. Buckey’s on business and asked her to iron an outing shirt for him. She complied with his request, she stated and he tossed her a quarter.

"I’m in too big a hurry to stop for dinner," Mrs. Wilkins says her boarder told her, "and I asked him if he were going to Marshall Hall with Lola. He told me he was not, and declared he was going to see about work."

The shooting created absolutely no excitement in the vicinity of the Wilkins home, and practically none of the neighbors knew what had happened until they read of the shooting in the morning papers.

Detectives Vermillion and Armstrong spent some time about the house early this morning seeking testimony to convince them of the identity of the individual who had done the shooting and to ascertain the motive.

Two Pistols in Room They learned from Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins what they knew of the affair, and two pistols found in the room were taken charge of by them. Before leaving the room in charge of the police and a physician from Casualty Hospital, Poland said he had forty cartridges in his closet, indicating the part of the closet in which he kept them. The cartridges were found at the place indicated by the wounded man.

One of the four bullets fired from the weapon, the only one that went wild, crashed through the transom and was imbedded in the ceiling of the room occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins.

"Whether the bullet was intended to kill one of us when Poland heard us getting out of bed or whether it was fired into our room accidentally," said Mrs. Wilkins, "I do not know."

"It may be," she added, "that he heard us responding to Lola’s call for help and tried to shoot us."

Bullet Passed Through Body When the body of Mrs. Naylor was examined at the morgue today it was found that one bullet had passed entirely through her body, while the second one was found imbedded just under the skin. The bullet that passed through her body, it is thought, the floor near the bed, although the police say that bullet may have passed through the transom over the door between the rooms of Poland and Wilkins and his wife.

The police were told that when Mrs. Naylor and her husband separated the wife went to her parents’ home. She remained there until less than a month ago, when she went to the Wilkins home to live. She left home against the wishes of her parents, it is said, and the latter kept her furniture at their home in South Washington.

Interviewed at the hospital today, the wounded man repeated the assertion that he did not know who did the shooting, although he admitted ownership of the weapon with which the shooting was done.

Denies Alleged Admission Sergt. Weber of the eleventh precinct saw Poland at the hospital later and questioned him as to the statement Mrs. Wilkins made of his alleged admission. He denied he had made the statement. "I have finished both of us," which was attributed to him by Mrs. Wilkins.

Mr. Naylor, husband of the dead woman, was questioned by the police as to his whereabouts last night, his name having been mentioned in the affair by Poland. He explained that he retired about 10:30 o’clock last night and said the first he knew of the affair was when his father-in-law called at his house early this morning and told him of it. He was still in bed when his father-in-law called.

Assistant United States Attorney Harvey Given took a hand in the investigation this afternoon and sent for the witnesses to obtain their statements.

Interments in the Historic Congressional Cemetery Last Updated: 2/13/2015 Name Birth/Death Age Range/Site

Poland’s father, Thomas C. Poland, 11 15th street southeast, a motorman in the employ of the Washington Railway and Electric Company, and Attorney Philip Lee Scantling saw the wounded man at the hospital today. The police were told that an inquest will be held at the morgue tomorrow morning.

The Evening Star, July 11, 1914, p. 2 Poland in Quarrel With Mrs. Naylor Police Say They Have Found Witnesses Who Know of Controversy Inquest into Death of Woman in Double Tragedy Conducted by Coroner Continuing their investigation of the double tragedy enacted early yesterday morning in the house of Mr. and Mrs. W.L. Wilkins, 1525 23d street, Randle Highlands, the police say they found witnesses who stated that William Poland and Mrs. Lola Naylor engaged in a quarrel while on the excursion to Marshall Hall Thursday night.

These witnesses and all others who were found by the police were summoned to appear at the inquest, which was scheduled for today, Coroner Nevitt was on hand at the morgue at 11:30 o’clock this morning ready to proceed with the hearing, and the detectives and policemen who conducted the investigation were also there.

In a room adjoining that in which the jury and spectators assembled was the body of Mrs. Naylor, the young woman who separated from her husband about Christmas, while her husband, John C. Naylor, who had been detained over night at the Anacostia police station as a material witness, was in attendance to tell of his domestic woes.

Poland Still At Hospital Poland, who is accused of the killing of Mrs. Naylor and is alleged to have attempted suicide, is still in Casualty Hospital. He was unable to attend the inquest, although physicians at the hospital said he probably will be able to leave there next week.

The wounded man still denies that he fired the four shots in the room in which he and Mrs. Naylor were found wounded. His statement is that he returned from the excursion with Mrs. Naylor, and that he was still awake when the shots were fired, but by whom, he says, he does not know.

It is charged by the police that Poland shot Mrs. Naylor and himself, and in support of their theory they point to the nature of the wound Poland received. The bullet that passed through his body and probably imbedded itself in the washboard, it is stated, entered near the second rib on the right side, took a downward glancing course and found exit near the seventh rib on the left side.

The police claim it is just such a wound as would ordinarily be inflicted by a person attempting suicide by shooting himself through the body.

Not Done by Outsider, They Say Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins claim that an outsider could not possibly have done the shooting, the police say, declaring the doors were locked and the windows closed when they started for assistance, following the shooting.

Had a person from the outside followed the couple or been secreted in the house, the police say, a door or window would have been found open by Mr. Wilkins, who was first to leave the house.

Arrangements for the funeral of Mrs. Naylor have not been completed. Her husband stated that her life was insured for a small amount and that as soon as the inquest is concluded he will arrange for the funeral. It is possible that the body will be taken to the home of Mrs. Naylor’s parents in South Washington and that the funeral will take place Monday.

Relatives of both the dead woman and the wounded man were at the morgue to attend the inquest and counsel for Poland were also on hand.

The Evening Star, July 11, 1914, p. 2 Her Murder Laid To Wounded Man Coroner’s Jury Accuses William Poland of Killing Mrs. Naylor William Poland, who is lying on a cot at Casualty Hospital with a bullet wound in his breast, was held today by a coroner’s jury for the action of the grand jury on a charge of being responsible for the death of Mrs. Lola Naylor, who was shot to death at 1525 23d street, Randle Highlands early yesterday morning.

The inquest over the body of Mrs. Naylor was held at the District morgue at noon today and the testimony was listened to by a score of friends of Poland and Mrs. Naylor. Poland’s injuries were such that he could

Interments in the Historic Congressional Cemetery Last Updated: 2/13/2015 Name Birth/Death Age Range/Site

not attend the inquest, but he was represented by counsel. Assistant United States Attorney S. McComas Hawken represented the government.

Tell of Woman’s Death Physicians at Casualty Hospital testified as to the death of Mrs. Naylor at that institution half an hour after she had been taken there in the ambulance early yesterday morning. Two bullet holes in her chest and one in the back where one of the bullets from the front had gone through, were described by the physicians. They also told of a bullet wound in Poland’s chest and stated that his condition today is improved.

Detective Sergt. Howard Vermillion, of police headquarters, who with Detective Armstrong investigated the shooting, testified that he went to Casualty Hospital after Mrs. Naylor and Poland had been removed there. He stated Poland told him that he was at Marshall Hall Thursday night, as was Mrs. Naylor, but said that he did not accompany her there. He also said that Poland told of having been on friendly terms with Mrs. Naylor.

The witness stated that Poland said that he and Mrs. Naylor were lying in his (Poland’s) bed early Friday morning and that neither of them was asleep. He said that about twenty minutes after they had been lying there he heard a shot and discovered that Mrs. Naylor had been shot and that as he turned over toward her he was shot. The detective said that Poland said he did not see any one in the room.

Bought Two Revolvers The witness testified also as to a statement of Poland’s that he had purchased two revolvers at a store on 9th street northwest. Detective Vermillion identified photographs of the interior of the room in which the shooting occurred and pointed out to the jury places about the room where bullets had struck. He also said that one of the bullets had passed through the mattress of the bed on the side on which Mrs. Naylor had been lying.

Lieut. C.L. Plemmons of the eleventh precinct was the next witness. He told of going to the scene of the shooting early Friday morning, but said that Mrs. Naylor and Poland had been taken to the hospital when he arrived at the house.

William Wilkins and his wife, Mrs. May Wilkins, were the principal witnesses. Both of them testified that they were in bed in another part of the house when they heard shots fired. They jumped out of bed and the husband ran into the room in which the shooting took place, they testified. The wife followed.

Mrs. Wilkins said that almost immediately following the shooting she heard Mrs. Naylor cry in a faint voice, "May, May, he shot me!" The two witnesses testified to having gone into the room and also of the husband carrying Mrs. Naylor from that room into another room.

Mrs. Wilkins said Poland asked for a drink of water, but that she said: "No. Why did you shoot her?" She said that Poland made no statement as to the shooting to her.

Poland Still at Hospital Poland was unable to attend the inquest, although physicians at the hospital said he probably will be able to leave there next week.

The wounded man still denies that he fired the four shots in the room in which he and Mrs. Naylor were found wounded. His statement is that he returned from the excursion with Mrs. Naylor, and that he was still awake when the shots were fired, but by whom, he says, he does not know.

It is charged by the police that Poland shot Mrs. Naylor and himself and in support of their theory they point to the nature of the wound Poland received. The bullet that passed `through his body and probably imbedded itself in the washboard, it is stated, entered near the second rib on the right side, took a downward glancing course and found exit near the seventh rib on the left side.

The police claim it is just such a wound as would ordinarily be inflicted by a person attempting suicide by shooting himself through the body.

Not Done by Outsider, They Say Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins claim that an outsider could not possibly have done the shooting, the police say, declaring the doors were locked and the windows closed when they started for assistance, following the shooting.

Had a person from the outside followed the couple or been secreted in the house, the police say, a door or window would have been found open by Mr. Wilkins, who was first to leave the house.

The Evening Star, October 20, 1897 Died At Hospital The Railroad Brakeman Who Was Hurt in a Smash-Up Charles Neitzey, the railroad brakeman who was injured in the rear-end collision near Maryland avenue and 13 1/2 street southwest early Sunday morning, as published in Monday's Star, died at the Emergency Hospsital last night about 7:15 o'clock. The accident resulted from an alleged defective coupling, as stated in The Star at the time, and the several runaway cars crashed into the train carrying Buffalo Bill's show. Neitzey, who lived at No. 58 N street northwest, and had been in the railroad company's employ for some time, was in the caboose attached to the runaway cars, and he made an unsuccessful attempt to put down the brakes. Seeing he coujld not succeed, he stepped inside the caboose, thinking the force of the collision would not be great enough to do much damage. But when the crash came the caboose was splintered, and it was with considerable difficulty that the injured brakeman was rescued from the debris before he was dead. Although his condition was serious when he was taken to the hospital, the physicians thought he would recover. But yesterday morning there was a change for the worse, and death ended his sufferings about the time stated.

The operation of laperotomy was performed for the internal injuries and the examination showed that Neitzey's pelvis had been seriously injured. A splintered bone, it appeared, had entered the bladder and this injury had given serious trouble. Several hours before he died Neitzey conversed with an agent of the railroad company about the case of the man. Kibble, who was found severely injured lying beside the railroad tracks some days ago. Kibbie, who is in the Emergency Hospital still under treatment, made a statement that the brakeman of a freight train had pushed him off a car. Neitzey was the man whom he implicated, but during the conversation yesterday, knowing full well that he had but a short time to live, he declared in positive terms that he had not shoved the man from the train. He first saw the man, he said, when the latter was lying beside the tracks, and then he did all he could to assist him.

Coroner Carr viewed the body at the hospital this morning and gave permission for its removal to his late home on N street.

The coroner made an investigation, and it was stated at the Emergency Hospital this afternoon that no inquest will be held.

Nes, Dr. Henry b. 1799 – d. 10 Sep 1850 51 yrs. R55/154 © Biographical Directory of the United States Congress 1774-1989 A Representative from Pennsylvania; born in York, Pa., May 20, 1799; completed preparatory studies and was graduated from Princeton College; studied medicine and practiced in York, Pa.; elected as an Independent to the 28th Congress (March 4, 1843 - March 3, 1845); elected to the 30th and 31st Congresses and served from March 4, 1847 until his death in York, Pa., September 10, 1850; interment in Prospect Hill Cemetery

The National Intelligencer, Friday, September 13, 1850 We regret to learn that Dr. Henry Nes, a Representative in Congress, from the 15th District of Pennsylvania, died at his residence in York on Tuesday night. He has been ill for a long time and in consequence of sickness has been absent from his seat in the House during most of the present session. His death will be no doubt be formally announced in the House today.

The National Intelligencer, Saturday, Sept. 14, 1850 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES The Journal of yesterday having been read-- Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, rose and addressed the House as follows:

Mr. Speaker: It is my painful duty to announce the death of another member of this House. The Hon. Henry Nes, late Representative of the fifteenth Congressional District of Pennsylvania, expired at his residence on the evening of the 10th instant. For a long time he had been afflicted with a painful and wasting disease.

Dr. Nes was a native of the borough of York, where he constantly resided until his death. His parents were among the most respectable and influential citizens of that ancient town. Properly appreciating the benefits of knowledge, they gave their son a liberal and professional education. He rose to considerable eminence, and acquired a large practice in his profession; which he followed until the people of his district required his public services.

How he was esteemed here, I need not inform you, who knew him. When his health permitted, and sometimes when it would hardly justify his attendance, he was assiduous in the discharge of his public duties. At the commencement of this session of Congress he rose from a bed of sickness, and at great personal risk came here to attend the organization of this House. Nor did he permit himself to be a day absent until disease rendered him too feeble to attend.

Few men possessed as great and as enviable popularity as he. He was repeatedly elected to Congress from a district which never returned any other man of the same political party. His popularity was not accidental, or evanescent; for his constituents had known him from his childhood. It was founded on the most amiable qualities of the human heart. Benevolence, generosity, and unfeigned pity for misfortune were prominent characteristics of his nature. No child of affliction was ever so poor or humble as to seek his professional or pecuniary assistance in vain. The poor and the afflicted were all his friends; and their sorrow at his grave will do more honor to his obsequies, than could the most splendid equipages of the great.

He has left behind him numerous respectable, attached, and mourning friends; but not a single enemy. If the blessings of the unfortunate and the sincere prayers of pure and grateful hearts can furnish a safe passport to a better world, his has been a happy exit from this.

I move the following resolutions: Resolved, That this House has heard with deep sensibility the annunciation of the death of the Hon. Henry Nes, a member from the State of Pennsylvania. Resolved. That this House tenders to the relatives of the deceased the expression of its sympathy in this afflicting event; and, as a testimony of respect for the memory of the deceased, the members and officers of the House will go into mourning by wearing crape on the left arm for thirty days. Resolved. That, as a further mark of respect to the memory of the deceased, the House do now adjourn. The resolutions were unanimously agreed to. And the House accordingly adjourned.

Nevitt, James Ramsey d. 30 Aug 1952 R23/139 Nevitt, Dr. J. Ramsey. On Saturday, August 30, 1952, Dr. J. Ramsey Nevitt, husband of the late Mary Hine Nevitt, father of Miss Ramsay Nevitt and Leman H. Nevitt. Friends are invited to attend memorial services at the Lee Funeral Home, Fourth street and Massachusetts avenue northeast on Tuesday, September 2 at 4 p.m.

The Evening Star, September 1, 1952 Dr. J.R. Nevitt Dies; Was District Coroner From 1900 Till 1931 Dr J. Ramsey Nevitt, 85, District coroner from 1900 to 1931 did Saturday at Cedarcroft Sanitarium, Silver Spring. He had been at the sanitarium for the last three years.

Dr. Nevitt began his coroner's job at $1,500 a year, plus 50-cents a day for horse and livery hire. The Morgue was then a little structure of second-hand brick beside a stable behind the sixth police precinct.

Later the morgue was moved to the waterfront and then to Gallinger Hospital grounds.

During Dr. Nevitt's career, a police homicide squad was established to supplement the coroner's efforts to investigate murders.

Strange Cases Recalled When Dr. Nevitt retired he recalled some of his strange death cases: The man who died of bed bug bites, the three Chinese members of a special mission to the United States who were murdered, the painter who killed himself while working in Dr. Nevitt's home and the son of an Ambassador who was found hanging in an embassy attic. The Ambassador demanded that Coroner Nevitt give no publicity to the case and with the help of the Commissioners and the Secretary of State a certificate of death was issued quietly and filed in the District Building.

Dr. Nevitt directed rescue of the injured after the Knickerbocker Theater disaster in 1922. The theater, at Eighteenth street and Columbia road N.W., was around the corner from his home at 1820 Calvert street N.W. He issued certificates for 101 dead after the disaster. He also was on the job at the Terra Cotta railroad wreck in which 48 persons died.

Born in Virginia Dr. Nevitt was born in Naylors Hole, Richmond County, Va. He had lived in Washington since he was 2 years old.

He was graduated from Columbia University, now George Washington, and received his medical degree there in 1892. He was in the District Engineer Department from 1890 to 1891.

Dr. Nevitt gained fame combating a smallpox epidemic in the Washington area when he was in charge of the District Hospital for Contagious Diseases from 1892 to 1894. He was appointed to the Board of Police Surgeons in 1894 and became president the following year.

After his retirement Dr. Nevitt lived on a farm near Potomac Beach, Va., in the summer and at 3639 Van Ness streets N.W. in the winter.

He married Mary Hine in 1894. She died in 1948.

Dr. Nevitt was a member of the Masons, Washington Heights Presbyterian Church, Washington Medical and Surgical Society and the American Medical Association.

Survivors are a son, Leman H. Nevitt, 3121 Patterson street N.W., an employee of the District Bridge Department, a daughter, Miss Ramsay Nevitt, 3639 Van Ness street, N.W., a teacher at Woodrow Wilson high school, and three granddaughters.

Memorial services will be held at 4 p.m. tomorrow at the Lee funeral home, Fourth street and Massachusetts avenue N.E.

The Evening Star, June 19, 1914, p 10 Enters Protest Against Removal of Dr. Nevitt Civic Betterment Association Informed District Coroner Is Not Republican Members of the Civic Betterment Association held a meeting last night and adopted a resolution protesting against the proposed removal from office of Dr. J. Ramsay Nevitt, District coroner, on the grounds that he is a republican, and the appointment of Dr. C.W. Chipman, a democrat, to the position.

The meeting was held at the residence of Mayo Mitchell, secretary of the association, 15 Grant place northwest, Capt. J.W. Mitchell, president of the association, presided.

A statement made at the meeting contained an absolute denial of the allegation that Dr. Nevitt is a republican. It was stated that he is a native of Rappahannock county, Va., and that all his relatives are democrats and warm personal friends of the two United States senators from that state.

The late L.G. Hine, father-in-law of Dr. Nevitt, was a democrat. He served as a District Commissioner, Dr. Nevitt, it was stated, came to this city when he was a boy, and has never taken any part in politics.

Dr. Nevitt, it was stated, has served as coroner for fourteen years without any complaint against his manner of conducting business, and the association voiced an objection to his removal for alleged political reasons.

Other civic bodies will be asked to take action. It is the intention of the association to send President Wilson a communication voicing the sentiments expressed at the meeting.

The Evening Star, December 24, 1913, p. 2 Dr. Nevitt A Success In Santa Claus Role District Official Gives Joy to Family of Six Little People Dr. J. Ramsay Nevitt, the District Coroner, recently appeared in the role of Santa Claus and brought happiness to the hearts of a family of six little children, their mother and grandparents. Playing Santa Claus was a little out of the coroner's line, but on an official visit to the vicinity of Good Hope, a week ago, he witnessed a sight that suggested the necessity of a volunteer to make it possible for the children to have a Christmas celebration.

Getting together a number of packages of toys, candles, fruits and clothing Monday afternoon, Dr. Nevitt motored to the house. He found the aged grandfather in front of the house chopping wood, a son of a neighbor assisting him.

When the physician's automobile was brought to a stop on the road about 100 yards from the house, the wood choppers put down their implements and walked to the house.

They were unable to understand the meaning of a stranger coming with his arms filled with packages.

"Guess he's made a mistake," the aged man suggested, calling his wife to the door.

"I was here a few days ago," said the coroner to the grandmother. "Don't you recall that I was here when the baby died?"

They recalled the visit, and when the packages were handed the grandmother and she was told they were for a Christmas celebration for the benefit of the little people, she exclaimed. "People certainly are good to us. I didn't know what we would do to get something for the children, but it's all right now."

The Evening Star, August 9, 1900, p. 3 New Coroner Appointed Dr. J. Ramsay Nevitt to Succeed Dr. Carr Dr. L.W. Glazebrook Reappointed Deputy Coroner-- Order Takes Effect the 16th Instant Upon the nomination of Commissioner Macfarland, who has immediate supervision of the office, the Commissioners this afternoon appointed Dr. J. Ramsay Nevitt as coroner of the District, to succeed, the 16th instant, Dr. W.P. Carr. Upon Mr. Macfarland's motion, the Commissioners also reappointed Dr. Larkin W. Glazebrook as deputy coroner, to succeed himself the same date. Both appointments are to continue during the pleasure of the Commissioners, the order fixing the terms of these officers heretofore at three years being rescinded.

Dr. Nevitt is one of the best-known of the younger of the local physicians, and has resided here for thirty-one of his thirty-three years. He was born near Richmond, Va. He was educated in the public schools of the District, graduated from Columbian University after a course of four years, and subsequently graduated from the medical department of that university. He was for a time resident student at the Washington Asylum Hospital, and later became the resident physician of that institution. Still later he became a member of the Emergency Hospital's staff, serving under Dr. H.L.E. Johnson, and seven years ago was appointed a member of the District's board of police and fire surgeons, which position he still retains.

Man of Courage Dr. Nevitt is not only an accomplished physician, but he is also a man of rare courage, as has been attested on more than one occasion when he volunteered for service as physician in charge of the local smallpox hospital. During the Grand Army encampment here in 1893 he was placed in charge of the contagious hospital at a time when it was expected that this country would be visited by an epidemic of cholera. Several cases of smallpox developed here a little later and he continued in charge of the hospital while such afflicted patients were there, as he has done on several occasions later. Dr. Nevitt rendered heroic service at the Louisiana avenue fire several years ago, when he risked his life by rendering medical attention to members of the fire department, who were at the time pinned down in one of the fiercely burning buildings, and at a time, took when the walls threatened to fall in and crush every one within the structure to death.

The Deputy Coroner Dr. Glazebrook, the reappointed deputy coroner, is also a native of Virginia, and he, too, was born near Richmond. He was educated here. He has held the position of deputy coroner since the office was created, in 1893, and has, it is stated, been very successful in the performance of autopsies, in which he is admitted to b a specialist. Both men are republicans, and it is understood that this fact was a most important consideration in the mind of Commissioner Macfarland in his determination to nominate them. Dr. Nevitt's general qualifications, and the fact that he was most highly recommended for the position, were also material inducements in the minds of the Commissioners, who also desired to pay recognition to his heroic services in assuming charge of the smallpox hospital on several occasions, and for his conduct at the Louisiana avenue fire. Dr. Glazebrook, while a candidate for the position of coroner, expressed his satisfaction with the appointment of Dr. Nevitt, of whom he entertains a very high regard, and the former's reappointment as deputy coroner was due to the great success he has attained in the office, as well as the many high indorsements filed in his behalf.

Complimented by Police Members of the police department express themselves as delighted at the action of the Commissioners in appointing Dr. Nevitt to succeed Coroner Carr. At the same time they regret very much that they are to lose his services as surgeon t the department. Dr. Nevitt has given entire satisfaction as a police surgeon, and because of his popularity and recognized ability his services were much in demand. He is regarded by many as the most popular surgeon that has been connected with the police department for many years. The police are satisfied that as coroner he will prove to be as successful as he has been as a police surgeon.

Newland, Gen. David d. 21 Dec 1857 R95/84 The Evening Star, December 21, 1857 Coroner’s Inquest About 7 o’clock yesterday morning, the body of a man was discovered floating in the canal at the foot of 9th street west. It was taken out and conveyed to the Central Guard House where a jury was summoned, and an inquest disclosed the following facts. The deceased was Gen. David Newland of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, but formerly of North Carolina, where he ran for Congress, was defeated and contested the seat of his opponent.

Mr. Newland was formerly Speaker of the House of Delegates of Wisconsin. He had been in Washington some five or six months, acting as agent, it is understood, for various parties who were applying for office. He has been latterly in very straightened pecuniary circumstances, and this fact probably gave rise to the suspicion that he deliberately put an end to his existence, but the facts elicited before the jury seemed to indicate that his death was accidental, and the jury brought in a verdict accordingly. The papers upon his person were not wet through, indicating that he had been a short time in the water when discovered. Among these papers was a Free Mason’s diploma of twenty years’ standing, and the body was accordingly taken charge of by members of the Order and conveyed to their hall on 9th street, from whence he was buried at 3 o’clock this morning.

It is high time something was done with that infernal man-trap, the city canal. Let it either be filled up, (“a consummation devoutly to be wished,”) arched over, or railed in, as is the case with Jones’ Falls in Baltimore. We wonder the city fathers are not afraid to cross the canal after night fall, lest they should be confronted by some of the pale specters of the drowned, who, if there be any truth in ghost stories, must hover over its torrid waters in squadrons!

Newton, Commander John T. d. 28 Jul 1857 Public Vault ® The Evening Star, July 29, 1857 Death of Commodore Newton We stopped the press yesterday afternoon when our edition of the day was half worked off, to announce the sudden illness of Commodore John T. Newton, then supposed to be from paralysis.

He was the president of one of the Naval Courts of Inquiry now sitting in this city, and at the time of its adjournment, at noon yesterday, appeared to be in the enjoyment of his customary vigorous health. On leaving the Court, he walked to the residence of Charles Winder, Esq., and in a few minutes after entering the house of that gentleman was attached with apoplexy—surviving the attack only one hour.

He was a native of Alexandria, Va., the son of the late William Newton of that town, and brother of the late Hon. Thomas W. Newton, who served a term in the House of Representatives of the United States from Arkansas, and also a member of the extensive and widely known Newton family of the Northern Neck of Virginia.

Commodore Newton was a scrupulous gentleman in all his relations and a skillful and gallant officer. He leaves a wife and children, as well as a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn his untimely death.

The following General Orders, bearing on this melancholy occurrence, have been issued: General Orders The Department, with pain, announces to the Navy and Marine Corps the sudden death, from apoplexy, of Commodore John T. Newton, who expired in the city of Washington, on Tuesday the 28th instant, at 4 o’clock p.m.

Commodore Newton entered the Navy on the 16th of January 1809, having been in the service nearly half a century, during which period he has occupied various positions of trust and responsibility. His loss will be severely felt.

His funeral will take place from the Meade House, on F street, on the 30th instant, at 10 a.m., at which time the officers of the Navy and Marine Corps are directed, and the officers of the Army requested to attend in full uniform. Toucey Secretary of the Navy Navy Department, July 28, 1857

The Evenig Star, July 29, 1857 The Funeral of the Late Commodore Newton The volunteer companies of the District of Columbia have been ordered out to attend the funeral of the late Commodore Newton. We presume that the volunteer companies of Alexandria, Va., of which city the late Commodore N. was a native, will also participate in the mournful ceremonies of the day. The funeral cortege will move from the Meade House, where the corpse now rests, shortly after 10 a.m., tomorrow. The marines have, of course, been ordered to attend.

The Evening Star, July 30, 1857 The Funeral of Commodore Newton took place this morning from the Meade House, where the corpse has remained since his death. The funeral service was there performed by the Rev. Mr. Hall, of the church of the Epiphany.

The procession consisted of a military escort--the United States Marines stationed here, under command of Brevet Major Zeilin, with the entire band of the corps, a very long line of coaches, containing the relatives and friends of the decease officer; members of the Naval Courts of Inquiry; officers of the United States Navy and Army in uniform, and others connected with the government and citizens of the District, Virginia and other States.

When the procession started it was raining hard, but a number of spectators assembled on the sidewalks and followed the line to the Congressional Cemetery, where the body was deposited.

The Evening Star, August 3, 1857 The Late Commodore Newton. Having frequently heard surprise expressed that this gentleman should have died of apoplexy—his figure and general health being such as to create the impression that he could never suffer from such a cause—we may explain the mystery, by stating that apoplexy is hereditary on one side of his family. His mother died of it, as did also his brother, the Hon. Thomas Newton, of Arkansas, who was dressing to dine or spend the evening out, when attacked much as the Commodore was. A few hours only before the Commodore was attacked, being complimented on his appearance of fine health, he replied that he was never in better health than then. A few minutes before he fell, seeing a lady friend on the sidewalk opposite the house in which the Naval Courts are held, he joined her, escorted her home—not a hundred yards off, we hear—and, after sitting a few moments in cheerful conversation, rose to take his leave; when he was attacked with apoplexy as suddenly as though struck by lightning, and, staggering, sank bank, into his seat, complaining of pain the left side and head. While he remained conscious, which was up to a few minutes of his death, we hear, he repeatedly apologized for the trouble he thought he was giving to those surrounding him, and was evidently unconscious that the hand of the fell destroyer had been laid upon him. There was no more courteous gentleman in the Union, and that sentiment maintained its wonted ascendancy in his mind to the last moment it was capable of thought, notwithstanding the pain and oppression under which he was suffering. His death occurred in an hour after he staggered and sank back, as explained above.

Newton, Mary Rosalie d. 24 Mar 1878 22 yrs. R86/222 Newton. On the 24th of March, 1878, after a short and painful illness, Mary Rosalia, beloved wife of T. John Newton, and only daughter of Richard W. and Mary A. Clarke, in the 23d year of her age.

Born in England Born in Liverpool, England, Mr. Newton went to Philadelphia when 9 years old and received his education in the public schools of that city. After engaging in mercantile pursuits for several years, he came to this city and, July 1, 1874, was appoitned a clerk in the Department of State, filling many positions of trust there.

He was initiated in National Lodge, No. 12, F.A.A.M., in 1880, and served the lodge as junior warden in 1882 and 1883; as senior warden in 1884, and as worshipful master in 1885 and 1886.

He had devoted much of his attention to Masonic relief work, with which he had been identified since 1882. From that date until his illness, he served as delegate from his lodge to the local Masonic Board of Relief. He was secretary of the board continuously from 1905 to 1912. Prior to then he had served it as secretary from 1886 to 1890, as vice president from 1892 to 1893 and as president from 1894 to 1895.

Funeral services for Thomas John Newton, past grand master of the Grand Lodge of Masons in the District of Columbia, who died at his residence, 18 Rhode Island avenue, Monday, were conducted in the chapel of Thomas S. Sergeon, undertaker, 1011 Seventh Street, this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Episcopal services were conducted by Rev. James W. Morris, assistant rector of the Church of the Epiphany, followed by Knights Templar services conducted by Washington Commandery, No. 1, K.T. Interment was in Congressional Cemetery, with Masonic services conducted by the Grand Lodge of Masons in the District of Columbia.

Mr. Newton, who would have been 76 years old the twentieth of this month, had long been a leader in Masonic activities in this city. He was employed for about 48 years in the Department of State, where he served as a clerk in the Bureau of Indices and Archives until his retirement a little more than 5 years ago. He was recognized for his knowledge of old records, dealing with the early conduct of Government in this city.

Harper, Kenton N., History of the Grand Lodge, 1911 p. 407-408: Junior Grand Warden, 1911 Born in Liverpool, England, January 20, 1852, he came to Philadelphia, Pa., when nine years of age, and received his education in the public schools of the latter city. After engaging in mercantile pursuits for a few years he removed to Washington, D.C., and entered the Government service as a clerk in the Department of State, July 1, 1874, and has been continuously employed in that service to the present time, filling many positions of trust, among them that of Special Disbursing Officer of the Department for the Alaskan Boundary Tribunal, which met in London, England, from August 1 to November 18, 1903.

Bro. Newton was raised in National Lodge, No. 12, April 20, 1880, and filled the East in that body for the years 1885 and 1886; was exalted in Eureka R.A. Chapter, No. 4, March 23, 1883, and served as High Priest in 1889; was knighted in Washington Commandery, No. 1, K.T., May 23, 1883.

Bro. Newton has been an indefatigable worker in the different branches of local Masonry, but perhaps his most valuable efforts have been directed towards the perfection of the Masonic Relief work, and along this line he has built for himself and the jurisdiction an enviable record. His work in this direction commenced on the local Board as a delegate from his lodge in 1882, and he has been in continuous active service to the present time, serving as Secretary from 1886 to 1890, inclusive, when he was elected Vice President and then President, serving in the latter office two years. In 1904 he again took up the duties as Secretary and is still holding that position.

On the formation of the General Masonic Relief Association for the United States and Canada, in 1885, our Board became a contributing member, and it has been his privilege to attend all its meetings as a delegate from our local Board, with the single exception of the 1903 meeting, when he was absent from the country on government business. He has served the Association in various capacities, i.e., as a member of the Advisory Board from September, 1890 to 1899, when he was elected Second Vice President; in 1901, elected First Vice President, and in 1903, notwithstanding his absence, was elected President, serving until 1905, and by virtue of such service is a permanent member of said association. At the present time, he is holding the important position of Chairman of the Committee on Organization and Membership.

Gifted with an unusually attractive personality, of courteous, kindly demeanor, Bro. Newton has a deservedly wide circle of friends, while his exceptional mental equipment and earnestness of purpose insures for the jurisdiction a successful administration under his guidance when he shall have been installed as Grand Master.

Nichol, a clerk in the Treasury Department and superintendent of the Ninth Street Christian Church Sunday School for more than ten years, died yesterday afternoon at his residence, 506 8th street northeast. Mr. Nichol was taken ill about ten days ago while at his desk in the Treasury Department, and after going to his home his condition became worse until his death, the direct cause of which was neuralgia of the heart.

He became a member of the Ninth Street Christian Church shortly after coming to this city and was later appointed superintendent of the Sunday school. Under his leadership the school has become one of the leading ones in the District. He was loved by every member of the church and his class.

He was the youngest master of the Masonic lodges in his native state. He was a member of Myron M. Parker Lodge, No. 27, F.A. and A.M.; Potomac Lodge, No. 66, Order of the Iroquois and National Tent, No. 1, of the Maccabees. His wife and four children, James W., Harvey R., Lulu M. and Alfred H.

Nichols, Dr. Charles Henry d. 16 Dec 1889 R49/175 The Evening Star, December 17, 1889 The Former Superintendent of St. Elizabeth Insane Hospital Dr. W.W. Godding, the superintendent of the St. Elizabeth insane hospital today received the following dispatch:

"Dr. C.H. Nichols died at 11 last night. Funeral services here Thursday morning. Interment in Washington on Friday from Miss Maury's. S.B. Lyon."

Dr. C.H. Nichols was formerly superintendent of St. Elizabeth's hospital and had many warm friends in the community who will regret to hear of his death. He was in his 69th year. Dr. Nichols had been in bad health for quite a long time and recently he went to Europe for his health, but received little or no benefit from the journey. He leaves a son, who is a lieutenant in the navy. The body, as stated, will be brought to this city for interment. The funeral will take place on Friday, but the arrangements have not yet been completed.

The Evening Star, December 18, 1889 The Late Dr. Nichols His Life Work for the Insane and His Services in Washington Dr. C.H. Nichols, the superintendent of Bloomingdale asylum, who died yesterday, as stated in The Star, came of a Quaker family. He was born in Vassalboro, Me., in 1820, and received a classical education at the Friends' school in Providence, R.I. He graduated from the college of physicians and surgeons in 1842. He began his work with the insane under Dr. Amariah Brigham in the state asylum of Utica, N.Y., where he was chosen medical assistant in 1847. In 1849 he was appointed superintendent at Bloomingdale. He remained there until 1852, when he resigned, having been selected by President Fillmore to superintend the construction and take charge of the government hospital for the insane in this District. With the money appropriated--$120,000--he purchased a site of 200 acres at St. Elizabeth. The appropriation was not large enough to erect the building, but Dr. Nicholas eked out the deficiency and made bricks out of the soil removed for the foundation of the building. Finally he had the satisfaction of completing the structure without asking for additional money from the United States Treasury. A lodge for the colored insane--said to be the first distinct provision of the kind ever made for that race--was attached to the institution. He was at the head of the institution twenty-five years, and, by means of additional appropriations, erected many additional buildings, doubled the lands, extended the accommodations and kept the treatment up with the latest methods. He served as trustee of Columbian university, president of the police board, etc. He was at the battle of Bull Run, and was nearly captured while attending to the wounded. He was on Gen. McDowell's staff.

Dr. Nichols was married in 1860 to Miss Ellen Maury, daughter of John Maury, who was at one time mayor of Washington. Mrs. Nicols died a few years afterward, leaving one son, Lieut Maury Nichols, who is attached to the engineers' corps at Willet's Point, L.I. In 1872 Dr. Nichols married Miss Sarah Lathrop, the daughter of a college professor at Pittsfield, Mass.

Dr. Nichols returned to the Bloomingdale asylum in 1877, when the office of superintendent was created for him. He succeeded the unfortunate Dr. David Tilden Brown, who hanged himself recently in Illinois. Dr. Nichols was a contributor to the American Journal of Insanity and other periodicals. For many years he was the president of the association of American superintendents of institutions for the insane and an honorary member of the medico-psychological association of Great Britain. He received the honorary degree of M.A. from Union college and LL.D. from Columbian university. He was a member of the New York medical society and the academy of medicine.

The Evening Star, April 28, 1971 Nichols Avenue SE Will Get Name Change Honoring King The D.C. City Council voted yesterday to rename Nichols Avenue SE in honor of slain civil rights leader, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The Councils action, which takes effect May 6, came after an April 2 public hearing at which most persons testifying supported the name change.

Councilman Stanley Anderson, who represents Anacostia, called the renaming a small but important step in focusing attention on the plight of Southeast Washington. Dr. Charles H. Nichols, after whom the street is now named, helped found St. Elizabeths Hospital.

The Evening Star, July 22, 1876 Outrageous Attack on Dr. C.H. Nichols About eight o'clock last night, as Dr. C.H. Nichols, superintendent of the Government Insane Asylum, was returning home with his family from a drive, he was attacked in his carriage, at Uniontown, by James Haggamacker, who seemed to be drunk, and who struck at the doctor in his seat. The doctor's wife became very much alarmed, and jumped from the carriage with one of her children, injuring herself severely by the leap, and all were considerably frightened. Officer W.T. Anderson, who was on duty on that beat, happily came along and quick stepped. Haggamacker to the station house, where the key was turned on him until sober, when he left colateral for his appearance, which was forfeited at the Police Court this morning.

The Evening Star, October 30, 1858 The Insane Asylum Already one of the most imposing institutions of this vicinity, and indeed of the whole country, is about two- thirds built. Under the direction of the resourceful and self-reliant gentleman who has it in charge, it pushes itself forward, without noise or bustle, gradually fulfilling the grand and noble ideal of its projectors. We think that scarcely any public edifice was ever more cheaply or substantially erected, and we believe all we say when we ascribe this to the energy, judgment, and enterprise of Dr. Nichols, wisely backed and supported by the Department of the Interior, under whose principal supervision it lies. When completed, and the foundation is now digging out for the remaining third part, it will be a longer building by some sixteen feet, than the Capitol itself in its finished state. A considerable suite of rooms in the middle and largest section which has been built this summer are in a state of forward preparation for occupation. This, by the way, is well, for the existing accommodations are pressed to their uttermost by the numerous applications for admission which are steadily made. At this time the institution has sixty female and seventy-three male patients, under about twenty attendants of all grades.

Besides the great amount of work done on the main building, and the large barn of the establishment, a substantial brick wall, coped with brick, made like all the rest on the spot, has been built, and porters' lodges set at the entrance. The great and increasing number of visitors has made these things necessary. We notice, also, that good crops of corn, vegetables and fruit have been obtained this year, and even the constituents of the little menagerie, by their healthy and thriving appearance, tell of the plenty and good treatment which prevail. At the rate that work has been pushed during the last twelve months, we should judge that by or before 1860 the whole establishment may receive its finishing touch, and then it will certainly have, a fair title to be considered as in all respects a proud monument of our country's humanity, munificence and taste.

The Navy Yard Section During the Life of the Rev. William Ryland Columbia Historical Society, Volume 4 One of the best-known men in the Navy Yard section in Mr. Ryland's day was Major Augustus A. Nicholson, of the Marine Corps. His residence was on South Carolina Avenue between Sixth and Seventh Streets southeast--the house now being occupied by Mrs. Olivia Briggs. A part of this house was standing before the city was laid out. It was afterwards twice enlarged, and is now in the condition it was when Major Nicholson occupied it. He was a man of very aristocratic character, of fine taste, and what the French call a bon vivant. His entertainments were attended by the most fashionable people in the District. Major Nicholson was married in 1821 to Miss Lispenard of New York, by whom he had a number of children, among them being Commodore Nicholson of the Navy and Major Nicholson of the Marine Corps, both residing in Washington now. His second wife was Sallie Carroll, daughter of Daniel Carroll of Duddington.

The Evening Star, October 11, 1897 Death by Poison Frank Nicholson Takes Fatal Dose of Rough on Rats A dose of "Rough on Rats," enough to have killed several men, taken Saturday night with suicidal intent, resulted last night in the death of Frank Nicholson. The deceased was past thirty years old. He was a son of the late Policeman Walter Nicholson.

Long before the death of his father he had become wild and had figured in many fights and been many times in jail. When rather young he married, but his life resulted in causing his wife endless fears and suffering.

At times Frank professed reformation, and was taken back, but he seldom kept sober more than a few weeks at a time, and when he went on a spree he invariably landed behind the bars. He escaped from jail once and managed to swim across the Eastern branch.

His wife finally got a divorce from him, and he went in the navy. Soon he became a deserter and returned home, much the worse for having come in contact with another sailor. His friends prevented a term in a military prison for him, and afterward he reformed, so he stated, and interested himself in church and mission work. During the past summer, after he had been doing so well, he found another young woman in the person of a Miss Burch who said "Yes" to him, and they were married. Two weeks ago Frank's appetite for strong drink returned, and he deserted church and Christian friends. His wife, unwilling to risk her life as his former wife had done, deserted him and returned to her parents. Friday, the wretched man, whose mind had been affected by drink, bought a box of the rodent killer, and a second box was purchased Saturday afternoon. It is thought he swallowed the contents of both boxes, and was found by his aged mother when he had become unconscious. A physician who was called succeeded in restoring the patient to consciousness, and yesterday morning he was sent to Providence Hospital, where he died last night about 11:30 o'clock. An inquest was deemed unnecessary.

Nicholson, Walter A. d. 15 Sep 1892 53 yrs. 6 mos. R3/93 Nicholson. On Thursday, September 15, 1892 at 1:37 p.m. after a long and painful illness which he bore with Christian fortitude, Walter A., beloved husband of Mary E. Nicholson, aged 53 years and 6 months.

He is gone from his dear ones, his children, his wife Whom he willingly toiled for and loved as his life. Oh God, how mysterious and strange are thy ways To take from us this loved one in the best of his days.

Had he asked us, wee we know, We should have said, "Oh spare the blow," Yes with streaming tears should pray "Lord we love him, let him stay." In love he lived in peace he died. His life was asked, but God denied.

The Evening Star, October 5, 1896 Death of Dr. William Nicholson The many friends of Dr. William Nicholson were sadly shocked at the announcement of his sudden death, which occurred in Salem, Mass., Saturday. Dr. Nicholson left Washington some years ago, suffering from nervous prostration, from which he never fully recovered. He had, however, but lately returned from a trip around the world, so much improved in health that his friends were looking forward to his return to the profession in which he had been so successful. He is gratefully remembered by many as the attendant physician at the National Eye and Ear Infirmary, also in connection with the practice of Dr. F. Loring. His kindliness of disposition and a peculiar gentleness of manner, joined with his skill in the practice of his profession, gained him the love and confidence of all with whom he came in contact. Dr. Nicholson was the son of the late W.L. Nicholson, for many years topographer of the Post Office Department. Funeral services were held this afternoon at the residence of his brother-in-law, Dr. Chas. A. Davis, 1010 15th street.

Nicollet, Joseph Nicholas d. 11 Sep 1843 R37/27 National Intelligencer, Sept. 12, 1843 Yesterday morning, 11th of September, at a quarter past 6 o’clock, after a lingering illness, Mr. J.N. Nicollet, the eminent mathematician and astronomer.

Mr. Nicollet was a native of Savoy and a citizen of France, but had passed the last ten years of his life in this country engaged in important researches, chiefly under the auspices and in the employment of the Government of the United States.

A more extended notice of this distinguished man, and one more commensurate with his fame, will doubtless appear hereafter. At present we can do no more than give hasty expression to our admiration, our friendship, and our regret. When this light is extinguished who measured the distance from star to star, who traced the secular path of the comet, and surveyed the majestic works of God so profusely scattered through the infinite heavens, who does not feel in the eloquent words of the poet so applicable to such an eclipse, "A glorious sympathy with suns that set!" The friends and acquaintances of the deceased are invited to attend his funeral from Galabrun’s European Hotel, on Wednesday, at 12 o’clock a.m.

National Intelligencer, Friday, Sept. 15, 1843 Our readers are indebted to an intelligent friend of the late Mr. Nicollet for the following appropriate notice of the life and character of this lamented gentleman: The Funeral of the lamented Mr. Nicollet, on Wednesday last; was attended by our most respectable citizens, including members of the reverend clergy from Baltimore, Georgetown, and Washington, the Mayor of the city, Col. Abert, Chief of the Topographical Corps, officers of the Army, etc. The officers of the Topographical Corps officiated as pall-bearers, and every demonstration of respect was paid to the remains of the distinguished stranger. The solemn offices of the Catholic Church were performed in an impressive manner by the Rev. Mr. Donelan, after a few touching and appropriate remarks.

We regret that we know so little of the history of this distinguished man. He was born at or near Sallenches, in Savoy, between Geneva and Mont Blanc. His early opportunities were very limited. At or before the age of twenty he proceeded to Paris, where, attention being attracted to his intellectual aptitude, the means of improvement which that capital so abundantly affords were liberally furnished to him. He became the favorite pupil of Laplace, and soon rose to great eminence as a mathematician and astronomer. He was particularly distinguished as an observer and in the department of physical astronomy. In that sublime work, the "Mechanique Celeste", his name and authority are repeatedly referred to, in itself, no small distinction.

Mr. Nicollet was the author of several works of great merit, and of many papers and memoirs in astronomy and the higher mathematics, which gave him an enviable reputation in the scientific world. He was a member of the "Bureau des Longitudes," and a principal examiner in the French Navy, a post of rank and importance. Had he remained in France he would probably have occupied the next place in the scientific department of the French Institute. He came to this country about ten years ago, recommended by his high reputation and by letters from the most elevated sources. After travelling a few years, he was engaged by the Secretary of War, Mr. Poinsett, to make a scientific exploration of the vast regions beyond the Mississippi and Missouri, in which duty he spent much time and collected much valuable information. At the time of his death he was engaged in preparing a map and report of the country traversed by the headwaters of the Mississippi. The map is completed; but the report had not received the finishing touch of its author. During his expeditions, Mr. Nicollet paid great attention to the history, laws, customs, and language of our Indian tribes, upon which interesting topics he had designed an elaborate work. He laboriously collected vocabularies and grammars of their numerous dialects, and even notated their national airs, as illustrative of their manners and sentiments. He has left a precious collection of manuscripts upon these subjects, which it is to be regretted for the cause of science, he was not spared to complete and arrange for publication.

Mr. Nicollet was extensively known throughout the United States, and his worth and kindness, as well as his singular talents and acquirements, were generally appreciated. The news of his death will excite general regret both at home and abroad. Of an ardent mind and delicate frame, the labors and anxieties of the last few years were too much for his overtasked spirit. His nervous energies became gradually impaired; the cords of life lost their tone from extreme and unremitted tension. He arrived in Washington about four months ago, since which he has been almost constantly confined by a distressing affection of the stomach and heart, accompanied by great nervous excitability and depression. At times the lamp of life, which was sensibly decaying, flashed up for a moment and gave faint hopes to his numerous friends and admirers. In one of these intervals, about two months ago, he prepared a remarkable paper upon the interesting but obscure subject of "aerolites," which was read for him by a friend at the National Institute, and was much admired. But this was his last labor. On Sunday last, after a violent attack of his habitual symptoms, he fell into a state of utter prostration, from which the most energetic measures could not arouse him, and at a little after six o’clock on Monday morning he expired, gently, nay almost insensibly, it is believed, in the forty-eighth year of his age.

It is thought that these imperfect details will not be without interest to the numerous and distant friends of the departed astronomer. As we stood beside his grave and saw so much genius and knowledge eclipsed beneath the clods of the valley, we were impressively reminded of the vanity of fame, the narrow bounds of knowledge, and the inexorable decrees of death.

Nicolson, Commodore John B. d. 9 Nov 1846 63 yrs. R45/60 National Intelligencer, Tuesday, November 10, 1846 Yesterday morning, at his lodgings in this city, at 8 o'clock a.m., Commodore John B. Nicolson, of the United States Navy, in the 63d year of his age.

Commodore Nicolson was a native of Richmond, Virginia, and entered the navy as a midshipman in 1805, on board the brig Hornet, then under the command of the late Commodore Chauncey. He shared, in common with the senior officers of the navy, in its infant struggles, and lived to participate in its renown, to which he contributed in no small degree. At the capture of the Macedonian frigate, the late Commodore served as fourth lieutenant of the United States, and was the first lieutenant of the Peacock, and, after her brilliant fight with the Epervier, the commander of the prize ship, which he brought safely into port.

After a life of great professional usefulness, and a career in which his private worth was conspicuous and acknowledged, he goes down to the grave followed by the unaffected sorrow of his brother officers and mourned by numerous friends, whom fifty years of amiable sociability and unwearied kindness gathered around him.

National Intelligencer, November 11, 1846 The funeral of the late Commodore Nicolson will take place this morning, at eleven o'clock from Mrs. Ulrich's boarding house. The Officers of the Army and Navy, and the friends and acquaintances of the deceased, are respectfully invited to attend.

Nielson, Andrew d. 20 Jul 1909 R164/246 The Evening Star, July 20, 1909, p. 10 Dragged To Death By Belting Corby Factory Employe Is Crushed In Machinery Alone at Time of Accident -- Sleeve Supposed to Have Caught as He Was Oiling Up Andrew Nelson, caught in the belting while oiling the machinery at Corby's yeast factory, Langdon, was dragged into the machinery, when his skull was crushed, a number of ribs fractured and injuries inflicted to his chest. He died in a few minutes.

Dr. Lee, resident physician of the Casualty Hospital, went to the scene of the accident in the ambulance. It was believed there was still life in the body when the man was extricated from the machinery. Life was extinct, however, when Dr. Lee arrived.

Nelson, said to have been a naive of Denmark, had been in this country about two years, and had been employed as a laborer at the yeast factory for several months. He had no relatives in this country.

This morning he was alone in the drying room at the factory when the accident occurred. His loud screams attracted the attention of others in the building.

Fellow-employes hurried to his assistance and removed his body from the machinery. A message was sent to the hospital without delay.

The police of the ninth precinct went to the factory and made an investigation learning that the victim alone was responsible for his death. It is believed that while engaged in the work of oiling the machinery his sleeve was caught in the belting and he was dragged to the part of the machinery where he was killed before he had an opportunity to do more than make an outcry.

This afternoon the body was removed to the morgue. Coroner Nevitt made a partial investigation of the affair, and will probably give a certificate of accidental death without the formality of holding an inquest.

Niles, Edward G. b. 4 Jan 1869 - d. 15 Jan 1905 36 yrs. R13/96 Niles. On Sunday, January 15, 1905, Edward G. Niles.

The Evening Star, January 16, 1905, p. 11 Edward G. Niles Dead Local Attorney the Victim of Typhoid Fever and Heart Trouble After a severe illness of several months' duration Edward G. Niles, a member of the local bar, died shortly before noon yesterday at his residence, 138 Massachusetts avenue northeast. His wife, who is the daughter of Captain William M. Meredith of the bureau of engraving and printing, survives him. Funeral services will be held at the Massachusetts avenue residence at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, conducted by Rev.

The interment will be private.

About three months ago Mr. Niles was taken ill of typhoid fever and that, together with heart trouble, is stated to have been the cause of death. A relapse occurred last Wednesday, and the sufferer became unconscious Friday afternoon. He did not regain consciousness.

The deceased was the son of the late Henry C. Niles, who was appointment clerk, Treasury Department, during the administrations of President Grant. Henry Grant Niles was born in this city January 4, 1869, and after attending the public school took the course at the Maryland Agricultural College, which institution, in the year 1890, conferred upon him the degree of bachelor of science. He graduated in law at Columbian University two years thereafter. Later he was associated in the practice of law with General Benjamin F. Butler and with Judge O.D. Barrett. During the past few years Mr. Niles was the senior member of the law firm of Niles & Whitt.

The Washington Times, January 16, 1905 Edward G. Niles Claimed By Death Succumbs to Typhoid Fever and Heart Trouble Capable Criminal Lawyer Funeral Will Be Held at Family Residence Tomorrow Afternoon at Two o'clock. Edward G. Niles, a prominent Washington lawyer, and a native of the District, died yesterday morning at his home, 138 Massachusetts Avenue northeast, after an illness of about three months.

The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock from the residence, and will be conducted by the Rev. Alexander Bielaski, of Baltimore, Md., an uncle of Mr. Niles. Interment will be private in Congressional Cemetery.

Son of H.C. Niles Mr. Niles was a son of Henry C. Niles, an appointment clerk of the Treasury Department in President Grant's Administrations, and was born in this city January 4, 1869. His early education was in the public schools of the District. He afterward graduated from the Maryland Agricultural College, and in 1890 that institution conferred upon him the degree of bachelor of science.

Mr. Niles later took the full course in Columbian, now George Washington University, and in 1892 began the study of law in the office of the late Benjamin F. Butler and Judge O.D. Barrett. Two years later he was admitted to practice in the District courts, and afterward before the Supreme Court of the United States.

In Criminal Cases In his early practice in the local courts, Mr. Niles devoted himself particularly to criminal cases. In this line of practice he was very successful. Later he gave nearly his whole attention to the prosecution of civil suits, making claims for damages a specialty.

During the past two or three years Mr. Niles associated with him in the practice of law John S. Whitt, under the firm name of Niles and Whitt.

Mr. Niles leaves a widow, Mrs. Mary Niles, daughter of Capt. William M. Meredith, of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

Nixon, Sally Wood d. 15 Jun 1937 R70/150 The New York Times, June 16, 1937, p. 24 Mrs. Lewis Nixon Wife of Former Shipbuilder Who Designed Three Battleships Mrs. Sally Lewis Wood Nixon, wife of Lewis Nixon, shipbuilder, now president of the Nixon Nitration Works, died at 10 o'clock last night at her residence, 16 East Seventy-ninth Street, after an illness of ten months. Her husband, their son, Stanhope Wood Nixon, and the latter's family, were with her.

Mrs. Nixon, originally a resident of Washington, was a descendant of General Andrew Lewis of Colonial Virginia. Her marriage took place in 1891, the year in which her husband resigned from the navy after designing the battleships Oregon, Indiana and Massachusetts, to become superintending constructor of the Cramp Shipyard, Philadelphia. Mrs. Nixon belonged to the Colonial Dames of America and the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Nixon, William J. d. 17 Feb 1862 R73/78 ® The Evening Star, February 18, 1862 Inquest Yesterday, Justice Johnson, for Coroner Woodward, held an inquest in view of the body of William Nixon of Co. A, 5th U.S. Artillery, who was found dead in the premises of Mary Magee, alias Mary Marshall, corner of Sixth St., East and Maryland Avenue, yesterday morning. The jury examined a large number of persons, from whom nothing of any account was elicited, except from two intelligent boys, sons of Mrs. Magee, and an employee in the house--Mrs. Goodin. The children testified that they went to bed about seven o'clock-- their sister Mary, a girl of about sixteen, their mother, and the man, James Marshall, who she says is her husband, and Mrs. Goodin, being then in the house. They were aroused between twelve and one o'clock by the report of a gun or pistol, and they smelled the burning power. They did not hear any disturbance, or know of the homicide till the morning, when they were told of it.

Mrs. Goodin substantiated the statement of the children. She was aroused from sleep by the report of the gun or pistol, and also smelled the powder. They all say that Mrs. Magee, Marshall, Mrs. Magee's children, and Mrs. Goodin were the only persons in the house when they retired.

From the appearance of the premises, it would seem that the deceased had come to the back window, the blinds of which were open; and that the shot was fired from within, through the glass, which was fresh broken; and there were marks of powder on the sash. The ball entered through the top of his cap, striking upon the side of his nose \, and glanced, passing entirely through the head, causing instant death. Blood marks were found on the side of the shutter. During the night the body was dragged from the yard to the street, as was evident from his clothing and the trail in the mud, and was there found by passengers, who had the body carried out of the rain to a shed in the same yard.

Mrs. Magee has long been a resident of the Fifth Ward, and carried on a little groggery at this place, and James Marshall, who she says is her husband, is a soldier belonging to the 1st U.S. Cavalry. The jury returned as a verdict that the said William Nixon came to his death from the effects of a ball discharged from a pistol or gun from the inside of the house occupied by Mrs. Mary Marshall, alias Magee, and they further believe that the gun or pistol was discharged by one James Marshall.

Justice Johnson, upon the verdict being rendered, committed James Marshall, as principal, for a further hearing, and admitted Mrs. Marshall, as principal, for a further hearing, and admitted, Mrs. Marshall, alias Magee to bail in $1,000 as accessory, Mr. J.H. Bradley, jr., appeared as counsel for the defense.

The Evening Star, February 22, 1862 Further Hearing of the Nixon Murder Case Yesterday morning, Justice Johnson, to avoid any prejudicial effect that the hearing of the evidence before the jury of inquest in the case of William Nixon, the soldier who was killed on Capitol Hill, Sunday night, might have upon his mind, invited, Justice Giberson to sit with him in the hearing of the evidence, and the parties charged, James Marshall and Mary Marshall, appeared at Justice Johnson's office for trial, Mr. Bradley, jr., appearing for the defense. The witnesses were those examined at the inquest, together with the jurors, and some soldiers. The testimony differed in some points from that elicited before the inquest.

Mr. Goodin testified substantially as before the inquest. She retired to bed, about ten o'clock, leaving Mr. and Mrs. Marshall down stairs. She was aroused in the night by the report of a gun or pistol, and smelled what she presumed was powder in the house immediately after. She knew nothing of the killing until she was told of it next morning by Mrs. Marshall.

Miss Mary Magee, daughter of Mrs. Marshall, said she went to bed before Mrs. Goodin. She was aroused in the night by a loud noise--the report of a gun she supposed. She did not smell powder, and denied having said so before the inquest. She knew nothing of the homicide till the next morning.

James Magee, (son of Mrs. Marshall, 13 years old) said he went to bed between seven and eight o'clock; was followed soon after by his younger brother. They were aroused by the report of a gun or pistol and by his mother coming up out of the cellar calling Mrs. Goodin. He smelled powder, but could not say if the gun was fired in or out of the house.

The next witnesses (there were eighteen in all) testified uniformly to the following facts: They found the body lying outside of Marshall's premises, near the street; they found a pool of blood under the window, in the yard, a blood stain on the shutter, a hand print, a freshly broken pane, and fresh powder on the inside sash.

Surgeon A.C. Williams, 5th U.S. artillery, testified that death must have ensued instantly from the wound, and the body was probably dragged from the pool of blood in the yard to the street outside.

One of the inquest jurors--Mr. W. Readdy--when about to be qualified, refused to be sworn according to law, saying that it was contrary to his religious belief, and cited Matthew, 5th chapter, verses 33 to 37, in justification. He would not use the name of God, nor swear by the uplifted hand.

Mr. Bradley, jr., for defense, objected, on the ground that he was an unbeliever. The Justice asked Readdy if he believed the Scriptures, and the doctrine of future rewards and punishment.

He said he did. He was declared competent, and proceeded with his evidence, substantiating generally the statements of the other witnesses. The character of Marshall was shown to be excellent. The deceased had the character of being intemperate and quarrelsome. The certificate of marriage of Marshall and Mrs. Magee was produced, it being given under her maiden name of Mary McCarty. Her business has been conducted under the name of Magee, simply because established in that name.

The case was fully dismissed by Justices Johnson and Giberson, who could discover nothing in the evidence to justify a commitment of either of the parties for trial at court.

Nokes, William d. 14 Jul 1859 R47/137 The Evening Star, July 14, 1859 A Dreadful Accident This forenoon, between 10 and 11 o’clock, while the gunner’s crew at the Washington Navy Yard were engaged in their usual battery practice, a sixty-four pounder—an army gun—which had been fired once only there (though it had evidently been often fired before) burst, killing James Wilson and William Nokes. The former was a seafaring man, married with one child. The latter was a married man, and was preparing to become a gunner in the service. He leaves no children.

The accident also wounded ten men—eight severely and two slightly—as follows: Richard Gormley (cut about the head;) Charles Stuart (badly cut about the head;) Roderick McMillan, (collar-bone broken;) P. Ludwig, (splinter in the side;) Andrew Wilson (cut about the face and head;) J. Roach, (ditto;) Elijah Beacham (badly hurt;) Dennis Leary, John Conner, and John Holland (slightly hurt.)

Mr. Wilson was killed instantly, half his head being blown off; and Mr. Nokes lived but five or ten minutes after the accident; the lower part of his face and head was blown off. The force of the accident threw Mr. Wilson’s body a distance of thirty feet, and Mr. Nokes and Mr. Beachem ten or twelve feet. All who were injured were on the gun platform, which is elevated ten feet from the ground. Some of the fragments of the gun were cast more than two hundred yards, to the great danger of the workmen around.

At 1 p.m. the presence of the coroner to hold an inquest over the remains of Messrs. Wilson and Nokes (who were most estimable and valuable men in all their relations in life) was momentarily expected. Indeed, all the gunner’s crew are necessarily picked men.

Hopes of the recovery of all the wounded are entertained by Dr. A.W. miller and the medical officers of the Yard in attendance.

Everything possible to relieve the condition of the wounded, has been done by the officers of the Yard.

(... See James H. Wilson for inquest and funeral ...)

The Evening Star, July 15, 1859 The Navy Yard Tragedy -- Further Particulars The Killed James H. Wilson was a man about thirty-five years old, who never had any knowledge of who his parents were, and had no relative that he knew of in the world. He was partially raised in Brooklyn, N.Y., and has been in the United States service here about nine years. He was a man of unusual abilities, and stood high in the service as an expert and intelligent gunner. He has been for years the keeper of the battery, and he was universally esteemed by his mates and by the officers.

Nokes was a young man, new in the service; had but been in the Paraguay expedition in the character of yeoman. He had been placed in the gunner’s department about two weeks ago, on account of the fair promise he gave, under the observation of Capt. Dahlgren, of becoming a first class gunner in time.

It was rumored yesterday that the wives of both of the deceased were absent from home on an excursion at the time of the accident. Such was not the case, they both being at their homes. It is understood that every effort will be made by the officers of the yard to have their afflicted families, who are poor, properly provided for by the Department.

By Asa Ira Norwood

The Evening Star, April 4, 1887 In Memoriam Norwood. The remains of Mr. John R. Norwood, who died in this city on the 28th of September last, were Saturday evening laid to final rest in Congressional Cemetery. Mr. Norwood will be remembered and regretted by friends in the West and South where he was known as a newspaper publisher of ability. He was born in 1838, we forget what State, but he was raised in Wisconsin, and at an early age became a practical printer. In 1872 he became a member of a stock publishing company known as the Southern Newspaper Union, and located first at Nashville, and then at Memphis. As manager, he carried his house through three epidemics of cholera and yellow fever successfully and with heroism. During the last yellow fever epidemic at Memphis he located at Atlanta, Ga., and, in company with Mr. E.B. Brown, a talented publisher of Cincinnati, founded there the Southern Publishers' Union, now known as the Atlanta Newspaper Union, which, in its permanent success, commemorates him. Though strictly a business man, giving no time to literary work, and thinking of no honor. Mr. Norwood possessed a rare humor, freshness, pith and descriptive power, together with a tender, sympathetic vein, that were well known in his friendly exchange list with the pen, and which, had he used his gift, might have classed him with the most original and popular of our humorists. To those who loved him best it will be a pleasure to know that though even from the first of his final decline, his mind failed partially at intervals, in rational hours, as the world receded, he gave thought to the serious things; finally affirming an undoubting belief in the future life, confessing repentance for errors past and a faith in Jesus which those who witnessed place hope in. As a man of the world, he was honest in business, genial in friendship, substantial in charity. Those who knew his unflagging mental energy and continuous physical unhealth will not be surprised to learn that, wasted and spent in middle life, his earthly shadow has passed to the restful silence.

Norwood, Mary Dunlap d. 26 Jun 1876 R25/175 Norwood. On the 25th of June, 1875, at five o'clock p.m., Mary Dunlap Norwood, aged 59 years. The relatives and friends are respectfully requested to attend the funeral from her late residence, No. 417 1st street northwest, on tomorrow (Tuesday) June 27th, at 3 o'clock p.m.

Nugent, Samuel d. 11 Sep 1882 R97/289 The Evening Star, September 11, 1882 Probable Homicide A Supposed Insane Man Shoots a Friend Through The Body Saturday night Henry W. Fenner, who had been boarding at Mrs. Ross', 102 B street northwest for some weeks, became somewhat violent and abusive to Mrs. Ross, and was thought to be insane. Mrs. Ross becoming alarmed sent for a policeman, and Officer Skelley started to the house. He was joined by Mr. Samuel Nugent, a well known painter, who, being an acquaintance of Fenner's thought that he could pacify him. When they entered the house Fenner drew a pistol and fired, the ball striking Nugent in the left side and passing entirely through him. Fenner was at once taken to the seventh precinct station and locked up, and Dr. Townsend, after examining Nugent's wound, directed that he be sent to Providence hospital. Fenner is quite a respectable looking man, about 49 years of age, and claims that the officer had no right to enter his room without a warrant.

The Evening Star, September 11, 1882 The Killing of Nugent In the Police Court this afternoon Fenner who shot Nugent Saturday night, as stated in the first edition of the Star, was called up from the cells and Mr. Moore called Judge Bundy's attention to a warrant charging the defendant with intent to kill. He also stated that the injured man was in the hospital in a critical condition. Judge Bundy committed the prisoner without bail to await the result of Nugent's injuries. Nugent died at 12 o'clock today.

Fenner.

Mrs. Rosa, the first witness, gave the details of what took place at her house, and gave an account of strange conduct on the part of Fenner. Policeman Skelly testified to going to the house at Mrs. Ross' request to secure Fenner. Nugent volunteered his services. While Fenner and witness were struggling, a pistol in Fenner's hand was discharged, and Nugent was shot. Joseph Dennis, who also accompanied Kelly, corroborated his testimony.

The inquest was in progress at 2:30 p.m.

The Evening Star, September 13, 1882 Locals The jury of inquest yesterday over the body of Samuel Nugent, who was shot last Saturday night, gave a verdict that the deceased came to his death from a pistol shot wound of the abdomen, inflicted with a pistol in the hands of Henry W. Fenner.
